No. Games are $50 because they can be $50.

And honestly, if I'm never going to buy a game - but it's fun to play from time to time - I've got no problem with people pirating games.

I don't have any of my systems modded. But I just don't care. Yeah, there are legitimate pirates out there that download everything they can. But if you're never going to buy the game - then the company isn't going to make any money off of you anyway and nobody really loses anything. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm extremely picky about buying games. I don't buy games unless they've either gotten rave reviews, or they're part of a series that has entertained me time and time again.

And I know I'm going to get flamed for that, but it makes no difference. It's like the South Park episode when it's showing all of the recording artists living lives of "semi-luxury" because of pirates.

Oh, and by the way, the Xbox can be softmodded so it doesn't even need a chip (using a Mech Assault bug).
